Abstract
BACKGROUND The mandible of the rabbit is considered a reliable model to be used to study bone regeneration in defects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the formation of new bone around implants installed in defects of either 5 or 10 mm in the mandible of rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 12 rabbits, 3 mm deep circumferential defect, either 5 or 10 mm in diameter, were prepared bilaterally and an implant was placed in the center. A collagen membrane was placed to close the entrance. After 10 weeks, biopsies were taken, histological slides were prepared, and different regions of the defects were analyzed. RESULTS Similar amounts of new bone were found in both defects. However, most of the 5 mm defects were filled with new bone. New bone was observed closing the entrance of the defect and laid onto the implant surface. Only in a few cases the healing was incomplete. Despite a similar percentage of new bone found within the 10 mm defects, the healing was incomplete in most of the cases, presenting a low rate of bone formation onto the implant surface within the defect. Only one case presented the closure of the entrance. CONCLUSIONS The dimensions of the defect strongly influenced the healing so that a circumferential marginal defect of 10 mm around an implant in the mandible body should be considered a critical-sized defect. The presence of the implant and of residues of teeth might have strongly influenced the healing.

Abstract
Establishing animal models with critical size defects (CSDs) is critical for conducting experimental investigations engineering of bone tissue regeneration. Currently, a standardised protocol for establishing an animal CSDs model has not been developed. Furthermore, a consensus has not been reached regarding the critical values of CSDs. Successful establishment of animal models for CSDs is a complex process that requires researchers to meticulously consider a variety of factors such as age, species, bone defect size and anatomic location. The specific numerical values for CSDs in small animal models vary, and a clear definition of the critical value for large animal CSDs models in the literature is still lacking. This review consolidates the advancements in critical bone defects animal models by outlining the research landscape across variables, including animal species, age groups, bone defect sites, and sizes, to offer valuable guidance and a theoretical framework for the establishment of pertinent experimental animal models.

Abstract
Maxillofacial bone defect repair and regeneration remains a tremendous challenge in the field of stomatology. However, the limited osteoinductivity of artificial materials and the high cost of bioactive agents restrain their clinical translation. This study aimed to construct an economical and efficient concentrated growth factor/mesoporous bioactive glass (CGF/MBG) composite scaffold for bone regeneration. The biochemical composition and biological effects of different forms of CGFs were systematically compared, and the results showed that CGF-conditioned medium effectively promoted proliferation, migration and osteogenesis of allogenic BMSCs. Gel phase CGF (gpCGF) exhibited superior bioactivity and osteoinductivity to liquid phase CGF (lpCGF) and liquid/gel mixed phase CGF (lgpCGF), and was further applied to construct CGF/MBG scaffolds. In vitro studies demonstrated that co-culture with gpCGF-conditioned medium further enhanced the biocompatibility of MBG, increasing cell adhesion and proliferation on the scaffold. On this basis, two compositing approaches to construct the scaffold by fibrin gel formation (CGF/FG/MBG) and freeze-drying (fdCGF/MBG) were applied, and the biological efficacy of CGFs was compared in vivo. In a rabbit mandibular defect model, higher osteogenic efficiency in in situ bone regeneration of CGF/FG/MBG composite scaffolds was proved, compared with fdCGF/MBG. Taken together, the CGF/FG/MBG composite scaffold is expected to be an efficient bone repairing therapy for clinical translation, and the CGF-composited scaffold using gpCGF and the fibrin gel formation method is a promising way to enhance the bioactivity and osteoinductivity of current clinical bone repairing materials, providing new thoughts on the development of future orthopedic biomaterials.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate a rabbit model of mandibular box-shaped defects created through an intraoral approach and determine the minimum size defect that would not spontaneously heal during the rabbit's natural life (or critical-sized defect, CSD). Methods Forty-five 6-month-old rabbits were randomly divided into five defect size groups (nine each). Mandibular box-shaped defects of different sizes (4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm) were created in each hemimandible, with the same width and depth (3 and 2 mm, respectively). Four, 8, and 12 weeks post-surgery, three animals per group were euthanized. New bone formation was assessed using micro-computed tomography (MCT) and histomorphometric analyses. Results Box-shaped defects were successfully created in the buccal region between the incisor area and the anterior part of the mental foramen in rabbit mandibles. Twelve weeks post-surgery, MCT analysis showed that the defects in the 4, 5, and 6 mm groups were filled with new bone, while those in the 8 and 10 mm groups remained underfilled. Quantitative analysis revealed that the bone mass recovery percentage in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the other groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the bone mass recovery percentage between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Histomorphometric analysis indicated that the area of new bone formation in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the remaining groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the new bone area between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions The dimensions of box-shaped CSD created in the rabbit mandible through an intraoral approach were 8 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm. This model may provide a clinically relevant base for future tissue engineering efforts in the mandible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many studies have aimed to investigate the regeneration potential of bone substitutes through animal models at different defect sites, where the bone healing mechanism varies due to developmental, structural and functional differences. This study aims to develop a rabbit model with two functionally different (non-load-bearing calvarias and load-bearing mandibular) critical-sized defects (CSD) in one rabbit. MATERIAL & METHOD The comparison of the "gold standard" autograft to a sham (no graft) control was undertaken in order to validate this model; at the same time, a 3D-printed biphasic calcium phosphate scaffold was implanted to test its utility in the evaluation of new bone substitute materials. Twenty rabbits were selected with both a 10 mm calvaria defect and a 11 mm bicortical semi-cylindrical mandibular defect. The animals were euthanized at 4 and 12 weeks once surgery, microcomputed tomography and histological analysis had been performed. RESULTS In the case of the calvaria, the results for the non-healing sham group compared with the healing of those that had undergone the autograft validated the CSD model. But the mandibular defect was not validated, due to the particularity of mandible high mechanical stress and infectious risk. DISCUSSION This study showed for the first time that rabbits have a high tolerance for the bilateral double-site CSD model under consideration; and further studies are essential to modify and improve the design of mandibular CSD.

Abstract
Background: In maxillofacial surgery, critical size mandibular defects remain a challenging issue. There have been numerous attempts to improve mandibular defect healing. Recently, bone tissue engineering has provided many benefits in improving bone healing. Herein, we tried to investigate the effect of Mineralized plasmatic matrix (MPM) and Chitosan to enhance tissue healing and regeneration in mandibular bone defect. Methods: A mandibular bone defect of critical size was created in 45 New Zealand rabbits. There were three groups of rabbits: the MPM group, the Chitosan group, and the control group. Radiographical, histological, and immune histochemical evaluations were performed at 4, 8, and 12 post-operative weeks. Results: The MPM group demonstrated the highest degree of bone formation with uniform radio-opacity nearly like that of adjacent healthy parent tissue. While in the chitosan group, most of the defect area was filled with radio-opaque bone with persistent small radiolucent areas. The control group showed less bone formation than the MPM and chitosan group, with more radiolucent areas. Sections stained with (H&E) demonstrated an increase in osseous tissue formation in both the MPM and chitosan groups. Staining with Masson’s trichrome revealed an increase in fibrous connective tissue proliferation in both the MPM and chitosan groups. In both the MPM and chitosan groups, nuclear factor kappa p65 was downregulated, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 was upregulated. Conclusion: According to the current study, MPM and Chitosan may have beneficial effects on the healing of critical-sized mandibular bone defects.

Bilateral double site (calvarial and mandibular) critical-size bone defect model in rabbits for evaluation of a craniofacial tissue engineering constructs. Mater Today Bio 2022; 14:100267.

Abstract
Most existing preclinical models for evaluating the biosafety and bone-regeneration efficacy of innovative bone substitute materials (BSMs) or tissue engineering (TE) constructs only consisted of a single-site defect and the anatomical locations of defect varied drastically. While the compelling evidence showed that the bone healing pattern is location-dependent, owing to developmental, structural, and functional differences of anatomical locations, this is particularly true for the craniofacial region. Taking this into account, the bone healing efficiency of a BSM shown at one anatomical defect location cannot ensure the same impact at another. This prompted us to develop, for the first time, a model of bilateral critical-sized defect (CSD) at two distinctly different locations (non-load-bearing parietal calvaria and load-bearing mandibular body) co-existing in one rabbit to reduce the number of animals needed and avoid the influence of interindividual variability and evaluation bias on comparisons. 24 healthy adult male New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to a group, either control, autograft (considered the "gold standard") or a clinically relevant BSM (biphasic calcium phosphate granules) (BCPg, Mastergraft®, Medronics). The full-thickness cylindrical calvarial defect (ø10 mm) on frontoparietal region and mandibular composite defect (ø11 mm) on the body of the mandible were created bilaterally using low-speed drilling with saline irrigation. The defect on one side was filled with autograft debris or BCPg, and the other side was no graft (empty). Following the euthanasia of animals at the predetermined intervals (4w and 12w), the defect zones were examined macroscopically and then sampled and processed for microcomputed tomography (microCT) and histological analysis. All surgeries went uneventfully, and all rabbits recovered slowly but steadily. No symptoms of infection or inflammation associated with the defect were observed during the experiment. At 4w and 12w, macroscopic views of all defect sites were clean without any signs of necrosis or abscess, and no intraoral communication was found. The analysis of microCT and histological findings showed the non-healing nature of the empty defect, thereby both calvaria and mandible CSDs can be validated. The study of the application of BCPg in this defect model highlighted good osteointegration and excellent osteoconductive properties but compromised the osteoinductive properties of this material (compared with autograft). To conclude, this novel double-site CSD model holds great promise in the application for preclinical evaluation of BSMs, TE construct, etc. With a reduced number of animals in use, and lower interindividual variability and evaluation bias for comparisons.

Abstract
Objectives This study sought to compare efficiency results between the use of a customized implant (CI) and a reconstruction plate (RP) in mandibular defect reconstruction in an animal model. Materials and Methods Fifteen rabbits underwent surgery to create a defect in the right side of the mandible and were randomly divided into two groups. For reconstruction of the mandibular defect, the RP group (n=5) received five-hole mini-plates without bone grafting and the CI group (n=10) received fabricated CIs based on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data taken preoperatively. The CI group was further divided into two subgroups depending on the time of CBCT performance preoperatively, as follows: a six-week CI (6WCI) group (n=5) and a one-week CI (1WCI) group (n=5). Daily food intake amount (DFIA) was measured to assess the recovery rate. Radiographic images were acquired to evaluate screw quantity. CBCT and histological examination were performed in the CI subgroup after sacrifice. Results The 1WCI group showed the highest value in peak average recovery rate and the fastest average recovery rate. In terms of reaching a 50% recovery rate, the 1WCI group required the least number of days as compared with the other groups (2.6±1.3 days), while the RP group required the least number of days to reach an 80% recovery rate (7.8±2.2 days). The 1WCI group showed the highest percentage of intact screws (94.3%). New bone formation was observed in the CI group during histological examination. Conclusion Rabbits with mandibular defects treated with CI showed higher and faster recovery rates and more favorable screw status as compared with those treated with a five-hole mini-plate without bone graft.

Abstract
Chitosan is a deacetylated polysaccharide from chitin, the natural biopolymer primarily found in shells of marine crustaceans and fungi cell walls. Upon deacetylation, the protonation of free amino groups of the d-glucosamine residues of chitosan turns it into a polycation, which can easily interact with DNA, proteins, lipids, or negatively charged synthetic polymers. This positive-charged characteristic of chitosan not only increases its solubility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, but also directly contributes to the muco-adhesion, hemostasis, and antimicrobial properties of chitosan. Combined with its low-cost and economic nature, chitosan has been extensively studied and widely used in biopharmaceutical and biomedical applications for several decades. In this review, we summarize the current chitosan-based applications for bone and dental engineering. Combining chitosan-based scaffolds with other nature or synthetic polymers and biomaterials induces their mechanical properties and bioactivities, as well as promoting osteogenesis. Incorporating the bioactive molecules into these biocomposite scaffolds accelerates new bone regeneration and enhances neovascularization in vivo.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of Gelfoam sponge with and without autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) on bone regeneration in critical-size mandibular defects. The study involved 56 New Zealand rabbits assigned to four groups (14 in each). The osseous defects in group I were irrigated with normal saline, those in group II were grafted with autogenous tibial bone, and those in group III were filled with Gelfoam sponge. Group IV defects were treated as for group III, but the interface between the Gelfoam sponge and bone surface was injected with BMSCs. At the end of 4weeks, seven rabbits in each group were euthanized; the remaining animals were euthanized at the end of the experiment, at 8 weeks postoperative. The percentage area of newly formed bone was significantly higher in group IV at week 4 (0.030±0.01%) and week 8 (0.060±0.03%) than in group I (0.01±0.00% and 0.02±0.00%, respectively) and group III (0.08±0.01% and 0.015±0.02%, respectively), but was lower than that in group II (0.038±0.02% and 0.082±0.01%, respectively). Thus, the combination of Gelfoam and autologous BMSCs promoted the regeneration of mandibular critical-size defects better than the use of Gelfoam alone. However, the amount of newly generated bone was lower than in defects grafted with autogenous bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Additive manufacturing offers a tailored approach to tissue engineering by providing anatomically precise scaffolds onto which stem cells and growth factors can be supplied. Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), an ideal candidate biomaterial, is limited by a poor implant-bone interface but can be functionalized with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) to promote integration. This in vivo study examined the interaction of a three-dimensional printed PEKK/ADSC implant within the critical-sized mandibular defect in a rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS Trapezoidal porous scaffolds with dimensions of 1.5 × 1.0 × 0.5 cm were printed using selective laser sintering. ADSCs were seeded on the scaffolds that were then implanted in marginal defects created in New Zealand rabbits. Rabbits were euthanized at 10- and 20-week intervals. Microcomputed tomography was used to characterize bone ingrowth and was correlated with histological analysis. Stress testing was performed on the scaffolds before and after implantation. RESULTS All scaffolds were well integrated into adjacent bone. Bone-to-tissue volume increased from 30.34% ( ± 12.46) to 61.27% ( ± 8.24), and trabecular thickness increased from 0.178 mm ( ± 0.069) to 0.331 mm ( ± 0.0306) in the 10- and 20-week groups, respectively, compared to no bone regrowth on the control side (P < 0.05). Histology confirmed integration at the bone-implant interface. Biomechanical testing revealed a compressive resistance 15 times that of bone alone (P < 0.05) CONCLUSION: 3D-printed PEKK scaffolds combined with ADSCs present a promising solution to improve the bone-implant interface and increase the resistance to forces of mastication after mandibular reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA. Laryngoscope, 127:E392-E398, 2017.

[PMID: 30603456 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-016-9123-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2015] [Revised: 02/17/2016] [Accepted: 03/14/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Mandible defect is a difficult issue in dental surgery owing to limited therapeutic options. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP2) is osteoinductive in bone regeneration. This article prepared chitosan/collagen hydrogels with rhBMP2-incorporated gelatin microsphere (GMs) for a sustained release of rhBMP2 to induce bone regeneration in rabbits. In experiments, mandibular defects of 8 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth were surgically prepared on the right cheek of 27 rabbits. Either chitosan/collagen hydrogels alone, rhBMP2-incorporated hydrogels, or hydrogels with rhBMP2-incorporated GMs were implanted to the defect sites. The animals were euthanized at 2, 6, 12 weeks following surgery. In results, scanning electronic microscope images revealled spherical GMs. The complex delivery systems, hydrogels with rhBMP2-incorporated GMs, exhibited ideal release profiles in vitro. The complex delivery systems resulted in apparent new bone formation within 12 weeks, as evidenced by computed tomography and histological observations. All these results demonstrated that the chitosan/collagen hydrogels with rhBMP2-incorporated GMs had a better capacity to heal mandible defects than other two hydrogel scaffolds. Chitosan/collagen hydrogels with rhBMP2-incorporated GMs might be potential carriers of rhBMP2 for accelerating the repair of mandibular defects.
